- Mid to Long Range (FY04-05 implementation)

• TFIADOC has the lead for 3 and is assisting on
several others

• Action Officer IPRs are conducted monthly

(Blue -TRADOC Lead)

Pre-Command Course POI

* Action: Add more relevant RC information to
the branch school PCC POIs

* Status:

- Receiving input from NGB and USARC on
recommended topics

- Conducting analysis of current POIs

* Way Ahead:

- Develop guidance to branch schools on required
changes

- Resource redevelopment of courseware

TASS Class Size Policy

• Action: Develop policy for issuing waivers for
classes that are not full and to overfill when
required

* Status:

- USARC and NGB establish class size (MIN-OPT-MAX) for
each course except those with limiting factors

- Proponents set class size (MIN-MAX) on some courses for
safety reasons

- Currently drafting change to TRADOC policy that will
outline waiver requirements and process

- Class size is reviewed annually as part of the RC Pre-
SMDR

TASS Class Size Policy

Status continued:

- Classes with less than MIN fill can be conducted:

• TASS Battalion request to the Component then to DA G1

• Email or telephone call requesting reinstatement of class

• Class is then reestablished on ATRRS

- Students in excess of MAX can be approved by the
Component

- “Overbooking" training seats can be established by the
components

• Set OPT higher than MAX causing ATRRS to allow more
"Reservations"

• Recommended for courses and geographic locations with
higher no-show attrition rates

TASS Class Size Policy

• Way Ahead:

- TASSD, USARC and NGB conduct a review of MIN-
OPT-MAX during 2nd quarter

- Input class size changes during Regional Training
Coordination Conferences (RTCC) during Mar-May 03

- Complete class size waiver policy change to TR 350-
70

Reclass POI Length

• Action: Evaluate current POIs and determine if
alternative methods of training, the elimination
of repetitive training, and compressed time
could be used to shorten training process time.

* Status:

- TATS Training Year (TR 350-70)

Reclass POI Length

• Way Ahead:

- Determine average non-DMOSQ density in each
course exceeding one TATS year

- Prioritize list of courses for analysis and redesign to
shorten

- Resource proponent schools

Battle Staff NCO Course

* Action: Provide options for changing policy to
allow all NCOs to attend BSNCOC.

year

week of AIT

- USAMPS determined implementation for 95B would not be
feasible

- Other MOSs under consideration are 31D, 51R, 63B, 63G,
67V, 71D, 71L and 93C

• Way Ahead: TRADOC Personnel Proponency

TASS Training Make-up Policy

* Action: Determine what policies prevent make-
up of missed training in TATS courses and
provide options on policy change if required.

* Status:

- No Army orTRADOC policies prevent make-up training
for TASS courses

training for periods of excused absence

* Way Ahead:

- Recommend TRADOC not publish policy on the subject

- Provide feedback to RC senior leadership

• Action: Recommend/support policy change
that would not prevent DSS candidates from
being eligible for a reenlistment bonus.

• Status:

- Estimate 120 additional DS Candidates per year

a choice between DSS and a reenlistment bonus

• Way Ahead:

- TRADOC supports USARC's request to waive the two
year service obligation for RC DSS Candidates

- Continue work with PERSCOM and USARC

Split Training Option
Performance

* Action: Review STO program performance.
Provide 3 year statistical analysis of attrition
rate between STO Phase I and II.

* Status:

- Significant delta between STO I grads and STO II
inputs

- DA staff attributes most of loss between STO I and II
to other component and services accessions

- FY02 return rate was 80.3 percent - increase of 10
percent over FY01 (70.7 percent)

* Way Ahead:

TASS Battalion TDA Equipment

• Action: Provide information on the process for
authorizing equipment on the TASS Battalion
TDAs.

• Status:

- TDA equipment authorizations are controlled by the
Reserve Components

- Equipment authorizations would require additional FTM
and facilities to maintain, store and account for property

- RCs made decision to barrow required training equipment
from TOE units early in TASS concept design

• Way Ahead:

- USAR and ARNG can change TDA equipment
authorizations for TASS Battalions as required
